TRICARE; Expansion of Geographic 

Scope of the TRICARE Retiree Dental 

Program (TRDP) 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DoD. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This proposed rule expands 

the geographic scope of the TRICARE 

Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) to 

overseas locations not currently covered 

by the program. At this time, TRDP is 

only applicable in the 50 United States 

and the District of Columbia, Canada, 

Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, 

the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin 

Islands. Expanding the geographic scope 

of the program will ensure that all 

TRICARE-eligible retirees are eligible for 

the same dental benefits, regardless of 

their location. There are no additional 

Government costs associated with this 

proposed expansion of TRDP overseas 

as TRDP costs are borne entirely by 

enrollees through premium payments. 

DATES: Written comments received at 

the address indicated below by June 15, 

2007 will be accepted. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and/or RIN 

number and title, by any of the 

following methods:

cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS
18928 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 72 / Monday, April 16, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposed rule expands the geographic 

scope of TRDP to overseas locations not 

currently covered by the program. 

Although 10 U.S.C. 1076c, does not 

restrict the geographic availability of the 

TRDP, per 32 CFR 199.22(b)(3), TRDP is 

currently limited to the 50 United States 

and the District of Columbia, Canada, 

Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, 

the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin 

Islands. Expanding the geographic scope 

of the program will ensure that all 

TRICARE-eligible retirees are eligible for 

the same dental benefits, regardless of 

their location. This expansion of the 

geographic scope of the TRDP program 

is based upon feedback from the 

TRICARE-eligible retiree community 

which indicated that there is a demand 

for this program in all overseas 

locations. 

Although the TRDP is administered in 

a manner similar to the TDP, there are 

significant differences in program 

funding. TDP costs are shared for two of 

the four eligible categories of TDP 

enrollees between the enrollees and the 

Department of Defense; however, for the 

other two categories of TDP enrollees, 

and all TRDP enrollees, costs are borne 

entirely by enrollees through premium 

payments. Enrollees are also responsible 

for any dental costs in excess of the 

TRDP coverage limits, and the 

contractor is solely responsible for any 

program costs in excess of annual 

premium payments. 

Therefore, there are no additional 

Government costs associated with this 

proposed expansion of TRDP coverage 

overseas. Specific methods of TRDP 

program administration, payment rates 

and procedures, provider licensure and 

certification requirements, and other 

program elements may differ by location 

to the extent necessary for the effective 

and efficient operation of the plan. 

These differences may include, but are 

not limited to, specific provisions for 

preauthorization of care, varying 

licensure and certification requirements 

for foreign providers, and other 

differences based on limitations in the 

availability and capabilities of the 

Uniformed Services overseas dental 

treatment facilities and a particular 

nation’s civilian sector providers in 

certain areas. 

Regulatory Procedures 

Executive Order 12866 directs 

agencies to assess all costs and benefits 

available, regulatory alternatives and, 

when regulation is necessary, to select 

regulatory approaches that maximize 

net benefits (including potential 

economic, environmental, public health 

and safety, and other advantages; 

distributive impacts; and equity. The 

Order classifies a rule as a significant 

regulatory action requiring review by 

the Office of Management and Budget if 

it meets any one of a number of 

specified conditions, including having 

an annual effect on the national 

economy of $100 million or more, 

creating a serious inconsistency or 

interfering with an action of another 

agency, materially altering the 

budgetary impact of entitlements or the 

rights of entitlement recipients, or 

raising novel legal or policy issues. DoD 

has examined the economic, legal, and 

policy implications of this proposed 

rule and has concluded that it is a 

significant regulatory action because it 

may raise novel legal or policy issues of 

enhancing the dental health of military 

retirees and their dependents who 

reside overseas. The changes set forth in 

the proposed rule to the existing 

regulation do not change the basic TRDP 

benefit structure. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

requires that each Federal Agency 

prepare and make available for public 

comment, a regulatory flexibility 

analysis when the agency issues a 

Regulation which would have a 

significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. This proposed 

rule does not have a significant impact 

on small entities. 

This proposed rule is not a major rule 

under the Congressional Review Act 

because its economic impact will be less 

than $100 million. 

Executive Order 13132 requires that 

each Federal Agency shall consult with 

State and local officials and obtain their 

input if a rule has federalism 

implications which have substantial 

direct effects on the States, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. We have 

examined the impact of the proposed 

rule under Executive Order 13132 and 

it does not have policies that have 

federalism implications that would have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government; therefore, 

consultation with State and local 

officials is not required. This rule 

contains a collection-of-information 

requirement subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3511) and which has been 

approved by OMB under control 

number 0720–0015. This rule will not 

change this requirement, but will only 

increase the number of beneficiaries 

who are eligible to enroll in the TDRP 

by approximately 100,000 people. 

Public reporting burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

average 15 minutes per response, 

including the time for reviewing 

instructions, searching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the 

data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

Send comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this data 

collection, including suggestions for 

reducing the burden, to Department of 

Defense, Washington Headquarters 

Service, Directorate for Information 

Operations and Reports (0720–0015), 

1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 

1204, Arlington, VA 22202–4302. 

Respondents should be aware that 

notwithstanding any other provision of 

law, no person is required to respond to, 

nor shall any person be subject to a 

penalty for failure to comply with, a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the PRA, unless that 

collection of information displays a 

currently valid OMB Control Number.

Claims, Dental health, Health care, 

Health insurance, Individuals with 

disabilities, Military personnel. 

Accordingly, 32 CFR part 199 is

areas specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of 

this section to the extent the ASD(HA), 

or designee, determines necessary for 

the effective and efficient operation of 

the TRDP. These differences may 

include, but are not limited to, specific 

provisions for preauthorization of care,

requirements for foreign providers, and 

other differences based on limitations in 

the availability and capabilities of the 

Uniformed Services overseas dental 

treatment facilities and a particular 

nation’s civilian sector providers in 

certain areas. The Director, TRICARE 

Management Activity shall issue 

guidance, as necessary, to implement 

the provisions of this paragraph. TRDP 

enrollees residing in overseas locations 

will be eligible for the same benefits as 

enrollees residing in the continental 

United States, although dental services 

may not be available or accessible in all 

locations.

rulemaking, we will hold one at a time 

and place announced by a later notice 

in the Federal Register. 

Background and Purpose 

The Coast Guard proposes to establish 

a safety zone around the Independence 

Hub facility, an oil and natural gas 

production facility in the Gulf of Mexico 

in Mississippi Canyon Block 920, 

located at position 28.085° N, 87.986° 

W. The Independence Hub is an 

integrated development of nine gas 

fields and consists of a deepdraft, 

column-legged, semi-submersible 

production platform, a subsea 

production infrastructure, connecting 

flowlines and a trunk line terminating at 

a junction platform in Plaquemines 

Parish, Louisiana. Anadarko Petroleum 

Corporation (Anadarko), the lead 

operator of the Independence Hub, has 

requested that a safety zone be 

established 500 meters around the semisubmersible production platform. 

Navigation in the vicinity of the 

proposed safety zone consists of large 

commercial shipping vessels, fishing 

vessels, cruise ships, tugs with tows and 

the occasional recreational vessel. 

Significant amounts of vessel traffic 

occur in or near the various fairways in 

the deepwater area. Information 

provided by Anadarko to the Coast 

Guard indicates that the location, 

production levels, and personnel levels 

on board the facility make it highly 

likely that any allision with the facility 

or its mooring system could result in a 

catastrophic event. The proposed rule 

would reduce the threat of allisions, oil 

spills and natural gas releases and 

increase the safety of life, property, and 

the environment in the Gulf of Mexico. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The proposed safety zone would 

encompass the area within 500 meters 

from each point on the Independence 

Hub’s structure outer edge. No vessel 

would be allowed to enter or remain in 

this proposed safety zone except the 

following: an attending vessel; a vessel 

under 100 feet in length overall not 

engaged in towing; or a vessel 

authorized by the Eighth Coast Guard 

District Commander. 

Regulatory Evaluation 

This proposed rule is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 

and does not require an assessment of 

potential costs and benefits under 

section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office 

of Management and Budget has not 

reviewed it under that Order. It is not 

significant under the regulatory policies 

and procedures of the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

We expect the economic impact of 

this proposed rule to be so minimal that 

a full regulatory evaluation under the 

regulatory policies and procedures of 

DHS is unnecessary. The impacts on 

routine navigation are expected to be
